Great Day Washington WUSA9 12/23/16 Host and Producer Meaghan Mooney's report- "Peace. What it means. What it looks like."
Friends,
This video vignette came out of the UN/DC journey this fall with CHALK4PEACE.
It aired December 23, 2016 on the CBS station in Washington DC.
Great gratitude to Meaghan Mooney, Dave Scarnato, and Great Day Washington,
for including us in this wonderful piece; and to Busboys and Poets and
Team CHALK4PEACE for bringing peace to Washington, DC
and the world, even if it's just one sidewalk at a time.
We will continue to draw the world together.
The best to you in the New Year.
Chalk4Peace on Earth.
Peace always,
John Aaron
